SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (CVE-2026-77310)
Summary
SSRF in com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (CVE-2026-77310). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via java.net.InetSocketAddress. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.22.1 or later.

Summary
CVE-2026-54514 (GHSA-hgj6-7826-r7m5) fixed an eager-DNS-resolution / SSRF issue in jackson-databind's deserialization of java.net.InetSocketAddress by switching to InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved(...) (PR #5951, commit 1f5a1037, released in 2.18.8 / 2.21.4 / 3.1.4). That fix did not cover the sibling java.net.InetAddress branch in the very same FromStringDeserializer.Std._deserialize() switch statement, which still calls InetAddress.getByName(value) and therefore performs an eager forward DNS lookup on attacker-controlled input at deserialization time. The fix is incomplete: the same vulnerability class remains reachable through InetAddress.
Details
File: src/main/java/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/std/FromStringDeserializer.java
Sibling cases in the same switch:
- Line 357-358 (UNFIXED):
case STD_INET_ADDRESS:
return InetAddress.getByName(value); // eager forward DNS lookup - Line 359-381 + helper at 494-496 (FIXED by PR #5951):
protected InetSocketAddress _inetSocketAddress(String host, int port) {
// 05-May-2026, tatu: [databind#5951] Prevent DNS lookup:
return InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved(host, port); // no DNS
}
InetAddress is a registered standard string-like scalar type (FromStringDeserializer.types() line 73; findDeserializer() maps it to STD_INET_ADDRESS at line 119-120). Any value deserialized into an InetAddress-typed target — a plain POJO field, a polymorphic subtype, or a…

CVE-2026-77310 (com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind) — CWE-918 / CVSS v3 5.3
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: java.net.InetSocketAddress / java.net.InetAddress / InetAddress / InetAddress.getByName
Patched: 2.22.1 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
SSRF (CWE-918) exists in com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via java.net.InetSocketAddress without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind. Attack surface: java.net.InetSocketAddress / java.net.InetAddress / InetAddress / InetAddress.getByName.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to 2.22.1.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
